seventeen poems later
and we are still strangers who only find each other
in the starlit hours
our love is unconscious and ceases to exist
when you wake up in the morning, drink your coffee and realize you've made yet another mistake
you look at me as if you were expecting something better, lovelier
as if we did not travel through the nights so closely
as if we never went anywhere, as if we were never anything other than a dream
Exploding with Feelings
I want to write. Write until my hands no longer remember how to form sentences. Write until my feelings are spelled out perfectly onto the page. Write until my heart doesn't feel like an empty black hole. I want to write until my hands go numb. Even after all these things, I will continue to write. Because I can't tell if writing is healing or hurting me.
